Jim Kaat is hanging up his suspenders (although it looks like he’s already stopped wearing them).
The recently-inducted Hall of Famer and longtime television analyst has retired. Kaat closed out his broadcast career Thursday night by calling Yankees-Blue Jays for MLB Network. A fitting final assignment given he spent so many years in the Yankees’ booth. He had most recently been doing Twins games locally in addition to his national work.
Ovation at Yankee Stadium for Jim Kaat who called his final game tonight, retiring after nearly 40 years of broadcasting.
